Catfish Identification

[Triston W]

Found this baby catfish in a group of tadpoles at the creek!!!! I am so lucky to have found him! Right now he is in a 10 gallon filtered all planted guppy tank with sand and plenty of hides. I am thinking about growing him a bit in here so I can then move him to my 65 gallon tank that has a baby warmouth and crawfish. Hell with this guy and any tips or concerns. Thanks in advance!!

Possibly a Madtom or Bullhead.

Does look like a baby brown bullhead. That's my wild guess anyway.

Might help if you tell us where you caught it, but I think bullheads are pretty invasive so could be anywhere.

baby bullhead catch them all the time

Looks like either a baby bullhead or one of the madtoms
